c# - is msdn wrong when it says ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden requires UseShellExecute=false? -

is msdn wrong when says use processwindowstyle.hidden processstartinfo.useshellexecute property must false ?

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processwindowstyle(v=vs.110).aspx

firstly it's not processstartinfo.useshellexecute, it's instance of processstartinfo dot useshellexecute aside.

secondly, , importantly. find opposite true

if create e.g. winforms application, code cmd window appears

processstartinfo psi = new processstartinfo(); psi.filename = "cmd.exe"; psi.useshellexecute = false; psi.windowstyle = processwindowstyle.hidden; process.start(psi); 

if do

processstartinfo psi = new processstartinfo(); psi.filename = "cmd.exe"; psi.useshellexecute = true; //default psi.windowstyle = processwindowstyle.hidden; process.start(psi); 

then cmd window doesn't appear.

so seems processwindowstyle.hidden requires useshellexecute true/default. not false. opposite of msdn says.

is msdn wrong in documentation, or misunderstanding it?

also, answer here .net - windowstyle = hidden vs. createnowindow = true? backs i've found createnowindow when useshellexecute = false, , psi.windowstyle=processwindowstyle.hidden when useshellexecute=true(default). msdn points out createnowindow msdn seems wrong processwindowstyle.hidden.
